Nicolay has returned with a new single called “The Brightest Star,” which comes from the forthcoming City Lights Volume 3: Soweto. Largely instrumental in the tradition of City Lights songs, “The Brightest Star” is flavored with vocal stylings from Carmen Rodgers and Phonte (“Let the brightest star be your guide.”). The b-side is a non-album track called “Afterglow” with vocals by Tamisha Waden and Phonte, and flute melodies by Tim Smith. Listen below.

Daniela Sarda and Rico Baumann, also known as Swiss synth pop duo True, have released a new video for the song “What I’ve Lost.” Set against a minimalist backdrop of analog synths and a drum machine, Sarda lulls the listener with her bittersweet song. Check out the performance below.

Plaid has released their tenth album – yes, tenth – on Warp Records, and it’s called Reachy Prints. The duo recently dropped a video for the song “Wallet” from that record, and you can see it below, along with some tour dates. Plaid will be performing select dates in the US throughout July.
